long travel f250 (not mine)

Whats the top speed? Im convinced that I want to drive your truck

 

i have no idea what top speed is. in fifth gear at 3500 im pulln almost 90 and the motor is still pullin. motor is chipped to peak rpm at 7800 rpm.

and its for sale... so buy it then you can drive it all you want

 

Thats alot for a V8 (7800 rpm) but V8s have more torque than anything.

Wait its for sale?! Why?

I got my truck up to 70 mph in 2nd gear at 5625 rpm

 

we built the motor to spin to about 9k no problem. so it will definitely handle it. and its for sale because i want to start a new project.

 

Where can I see pics of these 400 pony beast? Do you have any vids? I looked at your gallery but there are no pics.

Thanks.

 

my avitar is of my truck and ive posted a few throughout the forum... here is a video of it running.

Wow thats insane. I bet man.

Whats your new project?

 

next project is gunna be a pro4 based chevy silverado. just think of a silverado that looks 100% stock except on 37's and full fiberglass. but will have center mounted a-arms, cycling roughly 20" front travel, motor pushed back about 15-18 inches, rear linked cycling about 26" and full caged. but driving text to it on the freeway you would just say, damn that is a bad ass stock silverado on some big ass tires.

 

Sounds sick Nick. How long of a projetct is it going to be? like the guys Silverado on Suspence's website?

nope. that truck looks to be on stock arms with stock rear end and wide ass glass for no reason. that truck is the typical bro build. those rear spares are so high up it makes his roll center that much higher... wtf would you wanna do that for?

im doin center mounted custom boxed lowers, boxed upper j arm, rear 3 link, the works. and the project will prolly take me at least 2 years from start to finish.

 

Oh ok. Yeah im not sure on the spares either.

Well what your going to do (Sounds sick) and I imagine its going to be a beast and is going to look great.

I wish I could get involved in this build but right now I got shallow pockets hahha

 

lol so do i. hence why its gunna take 2+ years. imma piece it together when i can. but this build is strictly gunna be a show off truck. basically show everyone the quality of work that will be coming outta my shop.

 

hahaha I dont know you might get tired of it just sitting in the garage with no dirt on it.

Is your shop everything or just for modding prerunner trucks?

 

no i will be doing everything outta my shop. and ohhh noo my friend i dont mean show truck like only driven to shows and blah blah, the truck will be tagged and raced every year. no point in building a full race truck and not racing it, lol.

 

Nice even better. That will get sponsors attention.

Oh ok good. I was thinkin "What happened to Nick? That doesn't sound like him." hahaha

Will you race it locally or everywhere?

Can you make some other products?

 

if it goes well ill be racing it mdr class 1400 and hopefully a few short course races. only problem is there is huge difference on how the trucks are uilt for the racing style. so imma have to pick one. and i can make whatever is needed

 

I would try and go for the middle. Like pick something that you can use on the short course and then the other half something that is still "qualified" to race in the MDR class.

Isnt it though that on the short courses that the trucks are smaller than the ones that race in the classes? I may be wrong here

Alright I might have to catch up on that. I got a few ideas. Metal work or all shop(you do everything from wiring to body work)?
